School
Year Calendar
From June through August we offer a "summer camp" on Tuesdays and/or
Thursdays from 9am to 3pm. We utilize Group's Vacation Bible School
Curriculum with fun bible-based stories, crafts, songs, games, and
activities throughout the day. We balance indoor and outdoor play
for the children's enjoyment and water play is ever present at summer
camp!
September marks the beginning of the school year and the first day
arrives right after Labor Day. We discuss the child's uniqueness and
learn about feelings and senses. At the end of the month is our first
field trip- a Fall Walk down Juniper Trail Rd. We count animals and
use all our senses to
look for signs of Fall as we journey to the giant pond at the end of
the road.
October takes us on a filed trip to Ferrari Farms for a tour through
a real pumpkin patch! We pick pumpkins from the vine, jump in the
bounce house, take a hayride though the pumpkin fields, and visit
the farm animals. We learn about our bodies and explore movement
this month.
November finds us learning about families, relatives, leaves, and
giving thanks. We have a feast at the end of the month where
children bring items to share and dress up as Pilgrims and Indians.
December is an exciting time celebrating Christ's birth with a party
and making ornaments and presents for family. We perform some carols
to entertain our parents before Christmas Break. |

January is for snowmen! We also take a trip to a restaurant and
Circus Circus to have lunch together as friends. We discuss food
likes and dislikes and learn about nutrition.
February is for friends and firefighters! We discuss the
similarities and differences among friends. We make Valentine's for
each other, enjoy a party and take a trip to the fire station to
meet one of our favorite community helpers.
March takes us into spring and the Sheriff likes to come visit us
this month. We get to explore his car, tool belt, and learn how to
stay safe. We also visit the Wilbur May Museum exhibit, play at the
park together, and celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We also learn about
the train conductor and engineer this month and take a trip to
Truckee on the train as a family one Saturday.
April finds us planting seeds and learning about the farmer,
gardener, grocer, baker, and librarian. We have fun visiting the
Library and Grocery store to meet some more community helpers. We
have an Easter party to celebrate the risen Christ and hunt for
Easter eggs.
May marks the end of the school year but before we say goodbye we
celebrate moms with a special luncheon made by the children, visit
the zoo, and enjoy an animal picnic. This is also time for our 3 day
class to graduate. We have a cap and gown ceremony with a Butterfly
Luncheon so that parents can celebrate their little caterpillars
turning into butterflies and flying off to kindergarten.
